Based on the Theory of Motivated Information Management (TMIM), this study examines how undergraduates manage information related to post-graduation pathways, with a particular focus on their interactions with teachers, family, and friends. In addition, it explores how individuals perceive and process information in uncertain situations, specifically examining undergraduates' behaviors and decision-making regarding employment and further education. Furthermore, this study sheds light on the decision-making processes of students facing graduation choices, particularly in terms of information management. It addresses a gap in the application of the TMIM model within the context of college graduation anxiety research, assessing its suitability as a decision-making model for information seeking related to graduation anxiety. The findings demonstrate the effectiveness of the TMIM framework in predicting information-seeking strategies, thereby supporting various application scenarios of information-seeking models for undergraduates.
基于动机性信息管理理论（TMIM），本研究考察了本科生如何管理与毕业后路径相关的信息，特别关注他们与教师、家人和朋友的互动。此外，研究还探讨了个体在不确定情况下如何感知和处理信息，具体考察了本科生在就业和深造方面的行为及决策。再者，本研究揭示了面临毕业选择的学生的决策过程，尤其是在信息管理方面。它弥补了TMIM模型在大学毕业焦虑研究背景下应用的空白，评估了其作为与毕业焦虑相关信息寻求决策模型的适用性。研究结果证明了TMIM框架在预测信息寻求策略方面的有效性，从而为本科生信息寻求模型的各种应用场景提供了支持。
